6.17pm EDT

18:17

4th over: South Africa 16-0 (Lizelle Lee 3, Laura Wolvaardt 10)

Perry is given another opportunity and will hope to make up for her expensive first over. She starts well, her line is looking better and Wolvaardt can only defend the first two balls straight to the field. She plays a stronger stroke on the third, but it’s still not enough to penetrate the field. The fourth ball is a bit of a disaster for Perry – it slips out of her hand and it’s a full toss straight at Wolvaardt’s head and of course is ruled a no ball. Perry bangs one in short for the free hit and Wolvaardt can’t take advantage of it and it’s a dot ball. She manages to finish with a single to retain the strike.


6.13pm EDT

18:13

3rd over: South Africa 14-0 (Lizelle Lee 3, Laura Wolvaardt 9)

Schutt resumes and there’s an appeal on the second ball of the over for LBW, but the umpire isn’t interested and Lanning can’t be talked into a review. The inswing of Schutt is looking difficult to play on this pitch, she’s not giving the batters a lot of room to move and dig the ball out to get past the field. Lanning and Schutt have a long discussion before the final ball of the over and move cover out quite deep, which gives Wolvaardt an easy single.


6.09pm EDT

18:09

2nd over: South Africa 12-0 (Lizelle Lee 2, Laura Wolvaardt 8)

Ellyse Perry gets us underway from the scoreboard end – she was the one who really struggled with her line last game, so it will be interested to see how she adjusts today. The Wellington venue tends to suit her better and she’s not giving away wides early, but Lee pulls one aggressively for a single first ball, then Wolvaardt plays a nice cut shot in the air that finds a gap and then the boundary for four. Midway through the over Perry falters with her line and gives away a wide and then Wolvaardt plays her trademark glorious cover drive for another four when Perry offers up a half volley. Perry tightens up for the final couple of balls of the over, but it was quite an expensive one from her.


6.04pm EDT

18:04

1st over: South Africa 2-0 (Lizelle Lee 1, Laura Wolvaardt 0)

We’re off, with Megan Schutt taking the new ball, as she does most often. She gets some good swing first up – the pitch looks like quite a nice bowling pitch with a bit of green on top. Her second ball is a wide – which became quite a theme of Australia’s bowling against India on Saturday, so they will hope that doesn’t become a pattern again today. Lee is looking for a quick single off every ball, but it takes her a little while to find an opportunity. Wolvaardt takes her time settling in against her Adelaide Strikers teammate and blocks out the rest of the over.

A few changes for the teams today from their last games – for Australia Annabel Sutherland comes in for Darcie Brown. This seems to be about management of Brown as much as anything. She’s still only 18 years old and they’ll want to keep her fresh for the finals. For SA, Lara Goodall replaces Tamzin Britts and Tumi Sekhukhune comes in for Masabata Klaas.

There are plenty of these players who will be familiar to each other from the WBBL, even though this is the first time Australia have played SA in ODIs since 2017.


5.35pm EDT

Australia win the toss and elect to bowl

Well, Meg Lanning won the toss and unsurprisingly decided to chase! So they will want to get off to good start with the ball to make that chase pretty straightforward against the very strong SA bowling attack we spoke about earlier.

Preamble

Megan Maurice

Good morning and welcome to what we hope might be the match up of the tournament so far! Both teams sit undefeated at the top of the table and this win will provide plenty of confidence and ascendancy for whoever takes it out. While Australia have been dominant so far, South Africa have arguably the best bowling attack in world cricket and if Australia wins the toss and chooses their beloved chasing position, they will want to make sure they have restricted SA enough in their innings that the total is chaseable in the face of such formidable bowlers.

The net run rates (1.424 for Australia vs 0.226 for SA) tell an interesting story as well. While Australia’s wins have largely been dominant, SA have pulled off miraculous wins under extreme pressure. Fortunately for Australia they had a dose of that pressure on Saturday when India took some late wickets to take their game into the final over so they have had some experience being there if this match goes down to the wire.

The two pressure specialists from the teams are of course Australia’s Beth Mooney and SA’s Marizanne Kapp, who have both been incredibly cool and calm in those pressure situations so far. I’m looking forward to seeing a kind of “ice-in-their-veins off” between the two experienced campaigners today.

We’re just about ready for the toss, so let’s get ready to jump in!
